​NHG Rheumatology Residency Programme

Resident's Talk

“I chose Rheumatology because it is a very fascinating subject. It is like a jigsaw puzzle where we are trying to put the pieces together to form a bigger picture. It is satisfying to treat them and see them get better.”

Dr Paula Permatasari Tjokrosaputro
Senior Resident

"I chose Rheumatology because I was fascinated by the myriad of manifestations and complications of rheumatological diseases. I enjoy the challenge of diagnosing and managing these complex patients."

- Dr Angela Marie Chan Li Huan, Alumni

“Upon completing my clinical attachment, I felt prepared to become a rheumatologist who could independently perform ultrasound scanning on my patients, with the skills and knowledge that I gained during my training. Moreover, consultants, registrars, and nurses in RAI are all nice and friendly. I remember the time we chatted together while having coffee”

 - Dr Chan Pui Shan Julia, Specialist in Rheumatology and Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong


“My 12-month experience was wonderful and couldn't be better. The clinical workload and complexity of cases were exactly what I needed as a final year trainee. The teaching in TTSH RAI is well-structured and supported by a group of very experienced clinicians and teachers.”

- Dr Ng Chin Teck, Associate Professor of Medicine, Unit of Rheumatology, Department of Medicine, Universiti Malaya
